The highly anticipated fighting game Invincible VS has just revealed its latest playable character – the explosive powerhouse Rex Splode.

Developed by Skybound and newcomer studio Quarter Up, the 3v3 brawler continues to expand its roster with fan-favorite heroes and villains from the hit animated series.
Rex Splode’s gameplay trailer showcases his signature ability to generate devastating kinetic explosions. Players can expect a mix of ranged attacks with explosive projectiles and close-quarters combat where he transforms into a living bomb. One particularly brutal finisher involves planting explosive charges directly into opponents before delivering a sarcastic farewell. His moveset perfectly captures the character’s reckless personality and destructive capabilities.
Currently, the confirmed fighters include Invincible, Atom Eve, Viltrumite warrior Thula, and Bulletproof. While Omni-Man appeared in the initial reveal trailer, his playable status remains unconfirmed. The roster promises to deliver intense battles between the series’ most powerful characters, with more additions likely before launch.
Behind the scenes, Invincible VS brings together an impressive team of fighting game veterans. Quarter Up was founded by Mike Willette, known for his work on Killer Instinct (2013) as both a developer and iconic announcer. The studio includes talent from major developers like Riot Games and Activision Blizzard, ensuring polished combat mechanics and authentic adaptations of the source material.
Slated for release in 2026, Invincible VS will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. With its growing character lineup and experienced development team, the game is shaping up to be a must-play for both fighting game enthusiasts and fans of the Invincible universe.
